On a quiet street with mature landscaping, this lovely 1926 Ballard craftsman is in the middle of a neighborhood full of favorite restaurants, bakeries, delis and parks. Enjoy Delancey, Tarasco and Essex to the west; Take 5, Barking Dog, and Mainstay Provisions to the east. On Weekends stroll to the Ballard Farmers Market or the Locks; Ballard is a great place to be. In typical craftsman style, a covered front porch welcomes you into a gorgeous living room with original hardwood floors, updated windows, coved ceilings and an original fireplace. Pausing to check out the dining room view of trees, enter the kitchen which has tons of storage and opens to a 2nd 'informal' living room with a gorgeous stained glass window creating rainbows, plus direct access to the backyard and gate to 10th. True primary suite upstairs with high ceilings and a large bath. Main floor has a bedroom and bath, and basement has two newer bedrooms with large window wells. Basement also has opportunity for additional finished space with exterior access (right now great storage). Off-street parking available where the backyard planters are currently, or use the plentiful street parking on 10th or 70th.
